I'm not surprised, based on what I've read about the previews. I'm not thrilled with Google's recent attitude about root, as each new version seems to make life harder and harder, but at least the core is open source, so we can count on someone releasing an alternate kernel.

Google has an easy to follow tutorial on their images site.

Did yours ever get past this Android animation? Mines been stuck on it for 15 mins now. I also used flashfire beta appband flashed the package file.
I used wugfresh toolkit to unroot, return to stock and flash factory image. I usually just pull boot and system.img and flash them thru fastboot but looks like they changed the bootloader from 04.04 to 04.05 so to not risk anything I just wiped everything and had the toolkit do it after it verified MD5
I updated bootloader from 4.4 to 4.5 when I installed 5.1.1 so I didn't have to do that. Basically I update my nexus 7 the same way I update it every time and I never had any issues. In my opinion it is the safest way and also the intended way to update nexus devices.
Basically download stock factory image from google developer website, and extract system.img and boot.img in the same folder as your fastboot.
Turn on usb debuggin and use following commands:
-----------------------------------------------
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
-----------------------------------------------
Usually I also run CF-Auto Root but it is not working with Marshmallow yet so I skipped that step. I am using my tablet right now on 6.0 and it is working perfectly. No boot loop and no slow downs. I am using this method since 4.3. I dirty flashed every single time and never had any problem. Why don't you guys use this method? It is the intended method that even Google recommends.

I already had 4.05 (pretty sure it was from the latest Lollipop rom) but I flashed it through fastboot with boot.img and system.img just to be safe.
I've flashed it twice but never get past the initial booting animation. I guess I'll remove the -w flag from the script.
just flashed too with wug fresh tool kit, so far the classic issue, storage was reading 16 on my 32gb tablet, factory reset fixed it and it's running smooth as butter..
after waiting for 20 minutes I assumed it failed so I used the nexus root tool kit to install the update
When you flash the images with fastboot (no need for toolkits) it replaces everything in whatever partitions you flash. It doesn't matter what you've done to the system before.
ElementalX 5.00 has been released and if you flash this Kernel , FLO will boot up successfully and you can enjoy root.
Have you run any benchmarks or games? I basically rooted to go back to KitKat due to terrible gaming performance in Lollipop (specifically for VainGlory).
Dirty flashed mine to M. I been stock/rooted until now. Booted right away, optimizing apps almost done. Also used Wugz NRT for flashing
Just saw on Reddit that Marshmallow has been put into the AOSP source code tree, so it looks like rooting can proceed...

I haven't, although overall system performance has been much better than Lollipop, so i have no doubt that gaming will be just fine. I'm currently flashing Elemental X and super su. Stock rooted is gonna be beast

I also went back to KitKat for good. I need gaming performance not a number in About Tab. I hoped they fixed what they broke with Lollipop but clearly Google thinks 100% of the people use this tablet only for checking the weather and doesn't give a f*ck about fixing what they broke. When games will require Android 5.0+ I will crush the tablet with a hammer or give it to my grandmother so she can cut vegetables on it while checking the weather.6
Yes, not enabled by default:
pull build.prop from recovery and change release from user to userdebug
push build.prop
chmod 644 build.prop
reboot device and find it in dev options under drawing
